There are plenty of bedding materials out there. Use what you like best. Aspen shavings are very nice.
You should not use cat litter, pine shavings, or cedar shavings. It would be better and healthier to get a guinea pig a different bedding.
ye bol
if its beding is hay then yes it normal for any g-pig to eat hay But you should NOT use hay for bedding. Hay is to eat, you should use either aspen (NOT pine) or recycled paper bedding that you buy at the pet store. Improved: Actually, it is normal for guinea pigs to eat their bedding. I know that it is gross, but guinea pigs are supposed to eat their droppings because it gives them necessary nutrients that they don't have time to absorb the first time it goes through their bodies. Recycled paper bedding at the pet store is the best, and the best kind of hay is the KAYTEE brand Timothy hay. Hope that this helps!
i use paper shredded with shavings for my piggies they love it
It is not recommended to use carpet as bedding for a guinea pig. Carpets can harbor bacteria and be difficult to clean properly, which can lead to health issues for your pet. It is better to use safe bedding options specifically designed for small animals, such as paper-based bedding or aspen shavings.
Yes you can use towels instead of beding for guieana pigs to be on because I have a guieana pig myself and he LOVES towels. Whats really great about using towels as bedding for your guieana pig is that you can take the towels out if your guieana pigs cage and reuse them again. Towels don't harm your guieana pig eather. Plus, their even more softer than bedding form a store! I know this because when I got my guieana pig, the owner said that its healther for your guieana pig because theres less dust to ruin your guieana pig's eyes.
I would say yes, because it is much more cheaper.
i love you so much
I believe that it is a possibility for them to be allergic to the aspen bedding. That or it is too dusty for them. I have two piggies and one of them sneezes when i use aspen bedding, but the other is perfectly fine. I hope that it isn't anything more serious than needing to buy a different type of bedding.
The poo can be, but not the bedding, the bedding is better off being taken to the tip, or put in your dustbin/trashcan.
You should check the label on the bedding to see if that is safe.
Young Guinea Pigs may sneeze if they are sensitive to dust or allergens in the bedding, especially if it's not cleaned and changed often. Eating bedding may indicate a nutritional deficiency or boredom; ensure the Guinea Pig has enough hay and fruits/vegetables in their diet, and consider providing more enrichment activities to prevent nibbling on bedding.
